Tricia, I wrote my bro in Ventura county about your sister in Santa
Barbara county and have not heard back from him. He may be too busy
burning old tires under his citrus and avocado trees to respond. I
can't imagine Bakersfield getting down to 27 degrees. That would be
like a serious freeze in Miami. Must really be cold for the flora out
there this year. Gotta worry about palms, cherimoyas, feijoas, and
other exotics surviving in the SF Bay area, too. They've been playing
kind of fast and loose with the landscaping in that area for the past
20 or so years.

We survived and now it is just soooo cold. I am back to work this
afternoon. Pam, I am glad to know you still have power.

Donna, I hope you continue to have power...

I wrote after I got back from Colorado about Betsy and have never seen
where she chimed in. I hope she is ok too.

Wondering how everyone is doing with this next wave of storm.
I know Pam is

iced in and find it ironic that we are warmer here (at least at the
moment)
and didn't get the projected storm- a heavy coating of ice and 4-6
inches of
snow on top .... thankfully, we are still only getting rain! Temp is
supposed

to drop all day, so I am sure the ride home will be slippery.
As the power
returns to many, hopefully they will check in.....
Anyone heard from Betsy?

She had to be in that terrible storm in the Denver area for two weeks
in a

row- hope she is ok.
Donna-where is it 33 and misting at the moment....
